Shipping, settling, and travel allowances are all generous. Salary is fair, housing and medical coverage is sufficient.
Shipping allowance, flight, housing, salary, medical, basically everything that should be in a good overseas contract.
Shipping allowance is enough so that I could bring what I wanted to bring. I get a trip home every year which is paid for which is appreciated. The housing provided is of a level that we are happy with. We get a daily transport allowance, which is standard in Japan. We pay a lot for medical insurance but have no choice in provider and we don’t know the details of our insurance i.e. what it will cover etc so this is a little bug bear.
